Just to clarify- the NYT didn’t really make an oopsie on “climate change”, they just didn’t give the story the proper attribution. They weren’t aware that the report had been previously uploaded to some obscure non-profit website. Other than that the story is totally legit. The WP is taking the opportunity to ding their competitor.

John Bolton, a former undersecretary of state and U.N. ambassador for a year under President George W. Bush, about a week ago urged in a WSJ column that the US attack North Korea. (Paywall: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-military-options-for-north-korea-1501718189) That reminds me, since Trump’s inability to focus caused nuclear launch codes to be scrapped when he became President, was John Kelly able to swap out Trump’s nuclear button for a tiny, hand-held (for tiny hands, natch) remote garage door opener?

Power-addled but rational Kim vs delusional unstable Trump. Maybe there’s common ground in narcissism.

I don’t get why they’re complaining, the Trump campaign pays them for their videos and public appearances. I guess they’re just upset an additional revenue stream got cut off.

By the way, “Diamond and Silk” may think that YouTube is violating “our First Amendment [sic],” but nothing YouTube has allegedly done violates the actual First Amendment. The First Amendment protects individuals from government censorship of speech, it does not protect you from being sanctioned, censored, or called a moron by private individuals or companies. As my Con Law professor said… the First Amendment allows you to sound like an idiot, and allows me to tell you you’re an idiot.

You really don’t get why they’re pissed? I get that you’re on the other side of the aisle, but they are genuinely being surpressed by YouTube, albeit legally. It would be like someone telling you you can practice real estate law but not write up wills. They’d be messing with your earning potential, which you know ain’t honorable or the right thing to do.
